(b.1968, Kingston, ON) Hughes pays homage to classical painting techniques with a loose hand. Bold, modulated colour brushstrokes showcases formal composition in a new and refreshing light. Hughes graduated from the New York Academy of Art (MFA, 1995) and received the Elizabeth Greenshields Award for Figurative Art in 1991 and 1995. He has had solo shows throughout Canada, England and the US, and was part of a prestigious group show at The National Portrait Gallery in London (2005).
